Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
Another warm, comforting soup. I found this recipe on a message board I frequent. The soup was originally served in St. Cloud, MN. I altered the recipe pretty heavily, though. The idea and method are the same, but some of the details have been changed.
The soup only requires about 40 minutes to cook, providing you have cooked chicken ready to go. I like to keep some in the freezer for recipes like this. [Read more…] about Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
